French graffiti artist Jaybo, also known by the nickname Monk, surprised passers-by with his graffiti drawings on the walls of houses for a long time, until one fine moment he decided to bring his art to a higher level. In recent years, he moved his street art to galleries. And this experiment was successful.
Jaybo is one of those mysterious creative personalities who are always up to date with all the latest events and always have control over any situation. A French national, Jaybo moved to Berlin from his native France back in the 1980s and quickly rose to fame as a graffiti artist, street actor and hip-hop musician. In the 1990s, he created his fashion brand Irie Daily and founded Style magazine, thus making a strong impact on youth culture and fashion. Monk's commercial and artistic activities continue to have a strong influence on the urban subculture to this day.
In recent years, interest and attention to his person has grown very much, in particular to his unusual and slightly frightening painting. To create his canvases, the artist uses spray paint, which he paints on canvas. The art of aerosol cans is more associated with street graffiti, but Jaybo (Monk) decided to use these tools to paint portraits on huge canvases.
Jaybo (Monk)'s paintings are featured in individual and collective shows in Berlin and throughout Germany, as well as at The Leonard Street Gallery in London and around the world.
